Find the dimensions of the room.\n\nDefine the Width:\n\nWe start by defining the width of the room as w meters.\nWhy? Because we need a starting point, and the width is a basic dimension of the rectangle.\nDefine the Length:\n\nThe question states that the room is &quot;3 times as long as it is wide.&quot;\nTherefore, we define the length as 3w meters.\nWhy? Because the length is 3 times the width, as stated in the question.\nUnderstand Perimeter:\n\nThe perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as P = 2 * (length + width).\nWhy? Because that's the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.\nPlug in Given Perimeter:\n\nWe know the perimeter is 64 meters, so we set P to 64.\nThis gives us the equation 64 = 2 * (3w + w).\nWhy? Because we're using the given perimeter to find the dimensions.\nCombine Like Terms:\n\nInside the parentheses, combine 3w and w to get 4w.\nNow the equation is 64 = 2 * 4w.\nWhy? Because we're simplifying the equation to make it easier to solve.\nDistribute the 2:\n\nMultiply 2 by 4w to get 8w.\nThe equation becomes 64 = 8w.\nWhy? Because we're simplifying the equation further.\nIsolate w:\n\nTo find w, divide both sides of the equation by 8.\nw = 8 meters.\nWhy? Because we're solving for w, which represents the width.\nFind the Length:\n\nNow that we know w, we can find the length.\nThe length is 3 * 8, which is 24 meters.\nWhy? Because the length is 3 times the width.\" width=\"811\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/calculuscoaches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/PerimeterOfRectangleProblem.jpg 811w,
